FITTING THE DUST COLLECTION BAG
When using the belt sander, certain materials will generate harmful or toxic
dusts and grit. For this reason it is important to fit the dust collection bag. Do
not allow the dustbag to get too full. Empty the bag before it becomes
overloaded.
1. Attach the dust collection bag to the orifice at the rear of the tool by
pressing the lugs at the neck of the bag together so that the wire clamp
may be fitted over the neck of the orifice.

OPERATION

1. Connect the plug to the mains socket and switch on.
2. Hold the sander firmly with both hands
USING THE TRIGGER SWITCH

2. Release the trigger to stop the belt sander.
3. If continuous operation is required, squeeze the trigger, and depress the
lock-on button and release the trigger.
4. To stop the belt sander, squeeze the trigger to release the lock-on button,
then release the trigger.
USING THE SANDER
1. Make sure that there are no nails or other objects in the area to be sanded.
2. Let the sander reach full speed before applying it to the work surface.
3. Do not apply pressure to the sander during use. The weight of the sander
alone is sufficient for normal use.
4. Move the sander evenly over the work area. Do not allow the sander to
stay in one place for too long, this will give an uneven finish.
5. Replace worn sanding belts. The performance of your sander is
dependant on the quality of the sanding belts being used.
6. Remove the sander from the work area before releasing the trigger, (wait
until the belt has stopped moving before putting the sander down.
SANDING HINTS
1. Always use both hands to hold the sander and clamp the workpiece for
added stability and safety.
